Description

Save money off
your energy
bills and reduce your
carbon
footprint with the Desktop Computer
Intellipanel. This eco-friendly
extension plug
automatically switches off the power to all of your computer
peripherals when you turn off your computer.

Say Goodbye to Standby

The Intellipanel automatically switches off peripheral computer
equipment, such as the monitor, printer, scanner, and speakers, when
the computer is not in use. This includes both when you
switch the
computer off and when the computer goes into standby mode.

You can leave your computer during your lunchbreak; when your computer
goes into standby mode, the monitor, printer, speakers and any
other equipment you plug in, will
switch off at the mains. When you return to your work,
they'll
all automatically switch back on.

The Intellipanel is easy to set up "" simply plug it in. It
uses auto-calibration to work out your computer's individual energy modes.
This means it always knows when your computer is on standby, and powers
down peripheral equipment at the right time, every time.

With a five second reaction time, you won't be left waiting around for
your equipment to power up.

Slash your Energy Bills

A computer plug
with an automatic power
switch means no more
wasted power.

Computer equipment left on standby uses an average of 35 watts of
energy per hour, costing your money and increasing your carbon
footprint. The Intellipanel uses just 0.4 watts per hour.

Saving every possible watt of energy is becoming increasingly important
in the fight against global
warming,
and as energy bills rise. Recent research by price comparison
site uSwitch.com found energy
bills
have doubled in the last five years.

Give Your Computer a
Longer Life

Using the Desktop Intellipanel will prolong the life of your computer
equipment. Research shows that leaving computer equipment on
standby reduces equipment lifespan by an average of 15%, as well as
creating an unnecessary fire risk.

In addition, the Intellipanel automatically works out the optimum
amount of power to send to your computer equipment to create the least
amount of circuit stress. This lengthens the life of
components,
making your computer less likely to break down.

Built-in surge protection protects your computer against power surges
and spikes. The Intellipanel includes a thermal fuse to
protect
against catastrophic power spikes.

Keeping your computer in tip-top condition is good for the environment.
The longer a computer lasts, the longer it stays out of landfill.

Attaches to Wall or Desk

The Desktop Computer Intellipanel features eight power sockets, and can
be attached to a wall or desk to hide it away. The Intellipanel also
includes telephone and broadband surge
protection, and a telephone splitter to split one input line into two.

Please note: the Desktop
Computer
Intellipanel is not suitable for use with laptop computers.
If
you have a laptop computer, see the Laptop
Computer Intellipanel.

FAQs

My Desktop IntelliPanel „ C
doesn "TMt seem
to be working?
We have found on numerous occasions (and
we include
ourselves in this) that the labyrinth of cables we hide behind our
computers can get a bit muddled up. It is very important that the
computer (not the monitor) is plugged into the main socket, so it
might be worth checking that before we go any further! You might want
to check the Desktop Computer configuration instructions again. Please
ensure all of the connected plugs/extensions are seated properly, if
they aren "TMt pushed all the way in they may not be connecting correctly.

My peripherals do not
switch off when
my PC goes into standby mode!
Some PCs use as much power when in S1
standby mode
as in normal operating mode. Please try setting standby mode to S3 mode
in your BIOS or making sure you turn your PC off fully.

Why are my peripherals
switching on
and off intermittently?
In order to fully calibrate the Desktop
IntelliPanel „ C you may need to switch off your computer after you have
switched it on for the first time. The IntelliPanel „ C uses something
called Auto Calibration. In order for this to work properly your
computer must go through an on and off cycle. The IntelliPanel „ C will
then learn to adapt to your computers "TM unique patterns of energy
consumption. You might want to see the Re-set instructions again.

Can I use my Laptop
Computer with a
Desktop IntelliPanel „ C ?
We do not recommend it because the
Desktop
IntelliPanel „ C works by sensing the current used by the Master Device.
Batteries inside laptops often use more power during the charging cycle
than when in active use, this confuses the Auto Calibration technology.
The only time a Desktop IntelliPanel „ C should be used with a laptop is
when the internal battery has been removed. Otherwise we recommend
using
USBIMP205.

Can I use my TV/Audio
Visual system
with the Desktop IntelliPanel „ C ?
Yes, you may want to check the Desktop
Computer
configuration instructions. You can use a Television or Audio Visual
amplifier as the Master Device. However, the Master Socket on the
Desktop IntelliPanel „ C is permanently powered, this means only your
peripheral equipment will be switched off. The best product for you in
this instance is the TVAIMP205.
This IntelliPanel „ C will enable you to
switch off your peripherals and your Master Device.

Does the Desktop
IntelliPanel „ C switch
power off to my computer?
No, the computer will be permanently
powered. Modern
computers use a tiny amount of electricity in standby (normally less
than 1 watt). Collectively, however, peripheral equipment is
responsible for lots of wasted electricity - primarily because
peripheral devices are never switched off. If you would like to switch
your computer off completely you may use our TVAIMP205
in computer
configuration mode. To see how much energy your peripherals might be
wasting visit our research page.

Does switching my
Computer and
peripherals on and off reduce the lifespan of the system?
No. Things have moved on in leaps and
bounds since
the old days and the performance of modern electrical components is no
longer compromised by turning appliances on and off (so we don "TMt have
an excuse for not doing it!). The Desktop IntelliPanel „ C
switches
power on and off after a delay of a few seconds, is this normal?
Absolutely, we called it the
IntelliPanel „ C for a
reason, it will only allow power to be sent to your equipment once it
has ensured that power really is required. It does this by continuously
measuring the flow of electricity actually being used so it "TMs nothing
to worry about!

Does the IntelliPanel „ C
have surge
protection?
Yes, it has surge protection for the
Master Device
and all peripherals, including the telephone /modem splitter.

What is the life
expectancy of the
Desktop IntelliPanel „ C ?
We "TMre big believers in producing quality
innovations
and we think selling poor quality products to our customers is
unacceptable. We have designed the IntelliPanel „ C to last for more than
1 million cycles, that "TMs down to hard wearing parts and technical
innovation. You can use the Desktop IntelliPanel „ C more than 180 times a
day and it should still work for more than 15 years. It will pay for
itself many times over and we think that "TMs only fair! Even our original
panel is still working after 18 years and you can imagine how much
we "TMve put that through!

Can the Desktop
IntelliPanel „ C damage
my equipment?
No. We wouldn "TMt supply you with a
product that we
weren "TMt 100% happy with. The OneClick products can actually help your
equipment last longer, by reducing stress to the components when you
switch the peripherals on and off. This is down to the patented Zero
Crossing Detection.

If I use some of the
power saving
options on my computer, such as Hibernation Mode, how will the Desktop
IntelliPanel „ C react?
All OneClick devices automatically
detect the low
power state and so shut down all peripherals connected to the panel. As
soon as you re-activate the computer your peripherals will
automatically come to life. You won "TMt have to lift a finger!

One of my peripherals
switches off but
does not switch back on, why is this?
In a few instances, some peripherals
have soft
switches, which automatically default to "˜off "TM in the event of a power
cut. We "TMre sorry but in this instance you will have to manually switch
the power on to this device. (The IntelliPanel „ C is clever but we
haven "TMt found a way for it to physically turn things on yet "¦but we are
working on it!)

Do I need a separate
remote control to
operate the Desktop IntelliPanel „ C ?
No. We don "TMt believe in wasting money
and resources
so we designed the IntelliPanel „ C to detect the fall in power when you
switch your Master device off, only then, will the IntelliPanel „ C power
down your peripherals automatically.

I have more than seven
peripheral
devices that I need to plug into the Desktop IntelliPanel „ C , how do I
achieve this?
All you need to do is use the
IntelliPanel „ C in
conjunction with a trailing socket or adaptor (the ones we all have
lying around the house). We have tried to make our products as
versatile and as adaptable as possible, by using the IntelliPanel „ C in
this way you won "TMt have wasted any money on those trailing
sockets/adaptors and you "TMre saving electricity. There "TMs no need to
worry about safety, our products are designed to meet British
Standards, which means that they are entirely safe to use in this
manner.

What is the maximum load
I can plug
into the Intellipanel?
The maximum load for all of the
Intelliplug and
Intellipanel products is 13A

Can I plug more than 1
device into the
master socket?
We do not advise plugging more than one
device into
the Master Socket as this may confuse the Auto Calibration system.
OneClick is currently developing an IntelliPanel „ C with two Master
sockets. We hope to launch this in the future so please keep checking
our website for news.

I have a USB Hub with
LED "TMs which is
powered by the Desktop IntelliPanel „ C . When I switch off the computer
the LED "TMs on my mouse, keyboard and USB Hub stay on. Why?
The mouse, keyboard and USB Hub are
connected to the
USB socket of the computer. These sockets are permanently powered and
so may cause the LED "TMs to illuminate, it "TMs nothing to worry about.

Do I need to route my
telephone/broadband through the Desktop IntelliPanel „ C ?
We suggest that you do but it "TMs entirely
up to you.
We "TMve put it there so you can have complete piece of mind. If you
decide to run your telephone/broadband through the IntelliPanel „ C you
can rest assured that they will have the benefit of surge protection.

If I connect my telephone
to the
Desktop IntelliPanel „ C will I still be able to use it when the computer
is switched off?
Of course, we know you "TMd like to protect
your
equipment against surge so OneClick designed this panel to work with
you, not against you. We "TMre trying to make life easier. The
telephone/broadband lines on the IntelliPanel „ C have permanent power,
which means you can still use them even when you have switched off the
rest of your equipment.
